Greetings Lanphier Family!
Today the Administrative Team reviewed our school-wide expectations as they are outlined in the Springfield School District 186 student and family handbook. Lanphier PRIDE expectations will be enforced beginning tomorrow, Thursday, August 25, 2022. We look forward to partnering with you to ensure every student respects themselves, the school community, school property, and the property of others.
As a reminder, The STUDENT DRESS CODE is as follows: "Dress and grooming shall neither present a risk to the health, safety or general welfare of students or others in the school nor interfere with or disrupt the educational environment or process.
School appropriate clothing is to be worn. Oversized, extremely baggy clothing or improperly-fitted clothing is not allowed. Pants, shorts or skirts must be worn at the waist — sagging is prohibited.
Clothing with holes above the knee, ragged hems or cut-off hemlines, or made of transparent or fishnet fabric, or clothing that exposes the chest, abdomen, genital area or buttocks, undergarments or the legs above mid-thigh, shall not be worn in the buildings.
